Once a muscle or joint is injured, regular exercise is typically the key to rehabilitation. But when pain limits a body's ability to exercise, the healing process takes longer. Biofreeze products help break this pain cycle, by relieving pain through a method known as Gate Control, or gating.. In the gating process, menthol acts to stimulate specific sensory receptors in the skin, thereby blocking other receptors from sending pain signals to the brain.
A lack of fiber in the diet is a big problem for constipation in dogs, dog loose stool and diarrhea. Dog stool should be moist, firm and free of blood and worms that resemble pieces of rice in the stool. Itâs normal to see a trace amount of blood in dog stool occasionally.
Dog blood in stool can be medically categorized as either hematochezia or melena. In the case of hematochezia, the blood in the dog stools is bright red and is usually mixed in with the stools. The red color indicates that the blood comes from the lower intestines, most likely from the colon and the rectum. In melena, however, the blood causes the stools to turn black and tarry, indicating that the source of bleeding is in the stomach or upper small intestine, and the blood has been partially digested. There are numerous possible causes of dog bloody stools - some are more serious than others.
